Chapter 18
Though Penny had told the man that she was feeling better, both of them knew that she was still sick which was obvious with the way her body lightly shivered along with the unsteady movements . Hearing his demands, she couldn't help but stop to look at him . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
This man wasn't a pureblooded vampire but a demon in disguise thought Penny in her mind .
"What are you waiting for?" taunted Damien with a serious look, throwing his head back a little and closing his eyes before opening one to look at her, "It's really hot, a good bath would make me feel better . With your soft hands, I am sure to feel relaxed . "
Penny weighed the consequences of her action and words . As she had told she was doing better, he was already making her do his job . If she went back to say she wasn't feeling well, this night creature would undress her and give her a bath . The third possibility was her taking a swing at the man but with the lack of energy in her body, there was little chance of anything going in her favour except for letting off some steam . How far would that go?
Reluctantly, she turned her body to see him shift on the bed such that he brought one of his legs to fold on the bed while leaving the other as it was so that he could face her .
She didn't dare to look at Damien . She was brave for standing up to the people she had come across since the last week . And maybe it was because she had never seen or known the darker side of the world she had lived in until now for having no fear but what Penny didn't know was that her life had already started to change since the time she had been taken into the slave establishment where there was no turning back . Her ignorance of the world she had never seen was the absence of fear that existed in her mind .
Penny who was past seventeen years of age had never been touched by a man . She had fallen in love with some of the men as she had grown up but had never taken the courage to go speak to any of them . Even if she did, the men had different interests and standards that didn't match with her, after all, women in her village weren't short of beauty . They were well known enough to attract some of the black merchants who were involved in stealing and throwing the young woman into the slave establishment .
Going close to Damien, she brought her hands up near his shirt while still not making eye contact . Her head had started to feel dizzy, unsure if it was because of the fever or it was the nervousness that was causing this reaction .
Damien was sharper than most of the pureblooded vampires . Even before she had decided to obey his words, he already knew what the outcome was going to be yet he couldn't help himself from taunting the girl . His lips twisted up when he noticed her hands shaking and heart pounding in her chest .
It wasn't something to be pleased but he was more than pleased with this little response of hers . It showed the lack of experience she had with men .
She brought her fingers up to the top of his shirt, the first blue button fumbling it in her hands which she unbuttoned after a few seconds . Bringing her hand down to remove the next one, she undid it to see his muscled chest that was hidden beneath his shirt . They looked taunt and hard, one single mark ran across one side of his abs that looked rather serious as its stitch was visible even to her blurry eyes . She gulped and she did one wrong move of letting her gaze move up from his muscles to his collar bones . Her eyes sweeping up to see the neck and then up his face to meet his eye where he was already looking at her .
His red eyes stared right into hers as if he were looking into her very soul that made her heart shudder . The mischievous smile on his lips had fallen like the courage that had built into her before he had asked her to undress him .
Even though he was the man who had bought her from the black market where humans were degraded without any regard, he had saved her . Enough to keep her not in a place like the cells or confinement rooms of the slave establishment . By the looks of it, it was obvious that this wasn't any room but this demon's room . It was master Damien Quinn's room .
What did he want from her? First, he let her starve, and then he had let her sleep on his bed . And now he was back to taunting her and treating her like a personal maid . It felt like he was breaking and building her to only break her again .
"Master Damien," she addressed him, her head feeling dizzier by the second . Her words were innocent but it stirred something dark within the person who was in front of her . She slowly started to lean forward for her body to only fall lax into his arms as she fell unconscious .
Damien's jaw ticked at the teasing girl who had fallen asleep on his chest . This little mouse, his eyes narrowed looking down at her . The audacity of her to fall asleep without speaking what she had on her mind, he carried her to lay her head back on the pillow . When Falcon arrived back at the room with the meal, pushing the trolley in, he saw his master sitting on the bed while reading a book next to the girl who was asleep .
It seemed that the food would need to be reheated again, to make sure the butler asked, "Master Damien, shall I bring the food back again later when she's awake?"
"You can give it to the dogs, Falcon . Prepare the meal once she's awake," replied Damien flipping the page of the book he was reading, "Human's have nothing good to write . What is with this book," he threw the book right at Falcon who caught hold of it in time . "
The butler wasn't an illiterate who didn't know to read or write . Therefore the writings looked gibberish in his eyes .
Curious, the butler asked, "What does the book say, master?"
"It's on how to look after pets," Damien's quick response made Falcon sigh internally . He hoped it wasn't for the girl on the bed .
"I am sure master is intelligent and doesn't need to rely on what humans have written," the butler said for Damien to hum .
"True . I should probably write one and send it to the library for copies so that they know that treating pets with care doesn't work all the time . It needs to be scolded and disciplined well," the butler had no words for his master .
After Damien, as well as the butler, had left Penny to sleep in silence, as the pureblooded vampire had work to attend to, she dreamt of the slave establishment .
She didn't know why but she cried in a room which was dark except for the coals of wood that burnt brightly in front of her, "Please no!" she cried but the man next to her heeded not a single word from her as he was used to these cries every day .
Penny's hand and the head were restricted from any movement as it had been locked with the wooden board . Her back was left bare with the dress that she had been wearing removed to make space where the slave's mark would forever come to be etched on her skin . Another man in the room walked past her to go to the coals of wood where he picked up an iron rod with a circular mark at the other end of it . The end burned bright orange and red in colour, the steam and heat coming off of it as he walked back to where Penny was held .
She begged and cried but it was to no avail . The men were doing their job . The man finally placed the hot iron on her skin making her scream further in pain . Her screams echoing on the walls of the room and she woke up from her sleep with a small gasp .
